Property and possessions
Are like dew on the grass -
Give them without avarice away.

A human body that can practice Dharma is most precious -
[To attain it again] you should keep the precepts well
As if protecting your own eyes !

Anger brings one to the Lower
Realms, so never lose your temper,
Even though your life be forfeit.

Inertia and slackness never bring Accomplishment -
Exert yourself therefore in devotion.

Through distractions Mahayana can ne'er be understood -
Practice therefore concentration.

Since Buddhahood cannot be won without,
Watch the nature of your mind within.
